Madison Community Leisure Center
Youth Activity Sign-Up
Summer is here, and with kids out of school, Madison Community Leisure Center will again be running our regular 10-week activity programs for children and young people. This year's activities include:
- Badminton
- Swimming
- Basketball
- Soccer
- And many more!
All sports will be overseen by qualified adult instructors, and we will attempt to place participants in groups with roughly similar abilities. This will help to ensure that everyone has a fun time while learning new skills and keeping fit and healthy.
A brochure containing a full list of dates, times, and prices for individual sports can be picked up at the reception desk of our facility or can be sent by post on request. Registration is open for one week from September 15. To sign up for an activity, please visit www.mclc.com and follow the online instructions.
Seats on the programs are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. We aim to accommodate as many people as we can, but this is not always possible due to availability of staff and other factors outside of our control. However, places sometimes become vacant due to schedule changes or dropouts. We will make these places available 14 days after registration closes, so please ask a member of staff at that time about what is available.
Question 158. What is indicated about the planned activities?
Question 159. According to the announcement, how can participants register?
Question 160. How long after registration closes will extra seats be made available?

Pat Fiorentino 3: 10
I am guessing most of you read the article in yesterday's newspaper about the city's growing trash problem. Mayor Watkins wants the city to address the issue right away, and he wants us to put together a list of recommendations to present at the next council meeting. Are there any initial thoughts? Vickie Hill 3:11
I think a media campaign would be helpful. We can focus on the concepts of reducing, reusing, and recycling. Lloyd Medrano 3:12
Sounds great. I couldn't agree more. But I also think we need to provide more containers to dispose of trash, especially in public areas and parks. The sanitation department has complained about a shortage. Marcella Sanders 3:13
They also say they're understaffed. We could hire more employees, but the difficult part is figuring out how to pay for everything Dennis Kang 3:15
As long as you can come up with a solid plan of action, I can figure out how to supply the funding. Pat Fiorentino 3:15
Thanks, Dennis. That will be a great help. OK, so I'd like us to meet tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in conference room 3. We will have a brainstorming session, so write out your ideas and recommendations. Will that be a problem for anyone? Lloyd Medrano 3:16
That works for me. I have a meeting at 4 p.m., though. Will we be done by then? Dennis Kang 3:16
I'll be free. Maybe we should get the head of the sanitation department to come as well. Marcella Sanders 3:17
I have the day off tomorrow, but I'll send some ideas to you by e-mail before I leave today. Pat Fiorentino 3:17
We should be, Lloyd. Yes, Dennis, that's an excellent suggestion, so I'll give Edith Holmes a call right now. Thanks, Marcella. Question 161. What have Ms. Fiorentino and her colleagues been asked to do?
